Hot take: Most companies think they’re compliant with privacy laws. 91% aren’t.
While you’re prepping for holiday sales and end-of-year reports, cybercriminals are making their own lists. And checking them twice.
This season brings a 30% spike in ransomware attacks. Why? Because businesses get sloppy with security when they’re rushing to close Q4 strong. That temporary holiday hire might be processing credit cards without proper training. Your remote team could be accessing sensitive data from unsecured networks at airports and cafes.
Here’s what regulators see:
– Unencrypted customer data
– Outdated access controls
– Missing audit trails
– Zero incident response plans
Each violation can cost up to €20 million under GDPR or $7,500 per incident under CCPA. That’s enough to turn your holiday bonus into a penalty package.
But there’s good news: you don’t have to figure this out alone.
Critical Update specializes in bringing businesses into full compliance through:
– Access management overhaul
– Security gap analysis
– Regulatory compliance audits
– Staff security training
Don’t let compliance gaps be the Grinch that steals your company’s future. Book a consultation with Critical Update before regulators come knocking.
Because in 2024, the question won’t be if you’ll face a security audit—but when.
